Storage of excess glucose for energy. After you eat â when insulin levels are high â excess glucose is stored in the liver in the form of glycogen. Between meals â when insulin levels are low â the liver releases glycogen into the bloodstream in the form of glucose. This keeps blood sugar levels within a narrow range.
